Starbucks doesn't keep any papers. Best is to file online. Starbucks.com/careers you can upload your resume there as well. Add multiple locations to apply to and make a few calls or pop in and introduce yourself to the manager. Good luck!

Apply online to as many stores as you can! Resume you can add in online. And also how I got hired was I called the store and asked if they were hiring and they gave me the managers email so I emailed them, so maybe call a few stores and ask how to apply and they should help! 🙂

If it is a corporate location (not inside a Target or Macy's or anything like that) they pretty much won't be able to take a physical resume. They hire through the software/site (Taleo I believe) so even if they were willing to take a physical application, you'd have to re input everything online anyways. So I'd say the latter option is what you should do. But wait a little before you call in to check on it, maybe a day or two.

TLDR: only do the second option you mentioned
